Re: Iron Age settlement found at farm by 4clydesdale7 on Tuesday, 02 August 2011

Idly browsing your website I came across this 'blast from the past' - for a bit of fun I thought I would try to see what had happened in the last six years -

First a small correction albeit important Bishop's Cleeve and Cheltenham are in Gloucestershire NOT Essex as your title suggests -

There have been some interesting developments and for more detail you could do no more than read an Archaeological Evaluation by Cotswold Archaeology published in 2010 which can be found as an adobe pdf document at hhtp.//archaeologydataservice.ac.uk -

Dean Farm is an area to the NW of Bishop's Cleeve under constant threat of greenfield development for housing. It is also frequently the subject of flash floods.

The whole area seems to be keeping the Gloucestershire County Council Archaeological Department quite fully occupied. Close by to the East can be found the Cotswold Scarp with such beauties as Cleeve Cloud, Cleeve Cross Dyke, Cleeve Ring (Settlement) and the famous Nottingham Hill.

Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
